  • Pipe the éclair dough onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, leaving about 2 inches of space between each éclair.

  • Let the éclairs cool completely before filling them with the pistachio cream.
  • To make the pistachio cream, use a food processor to grind the pistachios into a fine powder.
  • Heat the milk and sugar in a saucepan until the sugar dissolves, then whisk in the cornstarch slurry.
  • Bring the mixture to a boil, stirring constantly, then reduce the heat and simmer for 1-2 minutes, or until the mixture has thickened.
  • Remove the saucepan from the heat and whisk in the butter and vanilla extract.
  • Transfer the pistachio cream to a bowl and cover it with plastic wrap. Refrigerate the cream for at least 2 hours, or until it is firm.
